Community Development and Humanitarian Network (CoDHNet) believes that promoting education is one of the most important means to overcome and fight ignorance and poverty, with this in mind,Our education projects covers a range of activities, including basic literacy and life skills through both formal and non-formal systems, education grants and fee support, teacher training support, distribution of school learning materials, construction and rehabilitation of school infrastructures as well as support to school feeding programs.
